Horror story: Having a mates 21st here this arvo, went to check the beers we brewed for said party were right to go and found frozen kegs! :angry:
One keg, completely frozen solid, another partially, the other hardly at all. Beer has been forced all the way back through the lines and reg (I will be buying a no return valve thingy very soon). thawed two out in the bathtub and got em back in the fridge on the gas, the one that was frozen solid still has a big chunk of ice in it.
Main concern: Carbonation. Anyone experienced anything like this before? Ideally I would wait a week before trying to pour a beer but we've got a lot of thirsty uni students who have just finished exams coming in a few hours. Don't mind low carbonation but will my beer be flat?
Yours, shitting myself
